While there has been a lot of new residential construction activity recently on the east side of the East River, the west side of the Hudson River has not fallen asleep and today K. Hovnanian and Equity Residential had a ground-breaking ceremony for two 48-story residential towers at 77 Hudson Street in Jersey City, New Jersey.
K. Hovnanian is the largest homebuilder in New Jersey and it will erect 420 condominium apartments in one of the towers and Equity Residential, the largest publicly traded real estate investment trust in the nation, will erect 481 rental apartments in the other tower.
The building will have an 8,300 sq. ft. Spa/fitness center with massage rooms, steam and sauna areas, screening room and a Pilates/Yoga Room - all with dramatic views onto an artfully landscaped 13,000 sq. ft. outdoor plaza deck with a swimming pool and Jacuzzi, which creates a private park. This space, designed by landscape architect HM White Site Architects, features walking paths and large expanses of lawn for picnicking interspersed with gently rolling hills. The project also includes a business center and a virtual golf club.
Cetra/Ruddy is the architect for the project.
The condominium tower will have 215 one-bedroom units, 144 two-bedroom units, 19 three-bedroom units, and 42 studios with prices estimated to range from the mid $300,000s to $2 million. Each condominium unit will have a parking space in the project?s garage and the building will have about 19,000 square feet of retail space on its ground floor.
77 Hudson St. is one block away from the waterfront area of historic Paulus Hook and two blocks from the Exchange Place Path Station, adjacent to the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail System, and one block to the New York Waterway Ferry.
